Covidence Training Series

Covidence is a tool to help you organise Systematic Reviews and other types of literature reviews. Covidence supports the systematic review process from the importing of references through to data extraction, which can save time whilst ensuring that the review is high quality and rigorous - essential if you plan to publish in any discipline. Join these workshops to learn how to use Covidence. You’ll also learn valuable tips and tricks to accelerate your review workflow, as well as the opportunity to get your specific questions answered by experts.
